Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently VIVO uses the Google Fonts API. And although a legal complaint campaign about this failed in Austria not too long ago, it can be assumed that this is not GDPR-compliant. If I see this correctly, the only compliant solution would be to host the fonts locally.

German documentation of a legal case based on the use of Google fonts: https://www.ra-plutte.de/lg-muenchen-dynamische-einbindung-google-web-fonts-ist-dsgvo/ -> court stated that using it without a consent banner/button is not GDPR compliant.

Describe the solution you'd like
Replace Google fonts with a non-tracked solution, e.g. locally hosted fonts.

Describe alternatives you've considered
